My starting weight was 275 , and the day of surgery I was 263 . I am currently 255 . I am now on my puree diet and I am struggling with getting my fluids in ! I have the whole bad breath thing going on probably due to dehydration. . I get naaeaous anytime I drink anything whi,h makes it harder to consume . . I am getting discouraged because it's hard work !! But I keep pushing myself and saying everything will be okay . . Currently down 20 pounds since I started so that's my motivation . . Any tips on how I can consume more liquids ??

Also what can i I eat in this stage ? Any good ideas ??

My doctor suggest phase 1 foods are soft and high protein. 1 egg scrambled, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, 1/2 cup refried beans with 2 table spoons shredded cheese. These are just a few things. Try only one new food each day. Avoid any spicy seasoning. I'm 16 days out. I tried a scrambled egg 13 days post op and the pain was terrible! After that initial problem I have been doing pretty good. I just cannot drink or sip water without terrible cramping and pain.

Try warm decaf tea.

Yeah I was warned that eggs . At be difficult so I haven't tried that. . Also I cramp up alot whenever I drink water it is terrible . I get maybe 20 ounces in a day :/

Try different temperature water if it's cold try warm etc it's normal to have this issue this early on it usually comes rite I was terrible at the start now I can drink all temperatures fine now

I found yogurt and scrambled egg good to eat also had some cup a Soups

This shall pass be strong you'll be out the other side before you know it [emoji4]

I agree with Dlhandel. I am only 7 days post, but for the first 4 days I couldn't get anything in. Almost hot decaf herbal tea really helped. Now at 7 days..This am I tried a poached egg. Was delish and I was able to get 1/2 down. No cramping or pain so far.

And 7 days and I can only get down Jell-O, sugar-free popsicle, and cream of chicken. I'm struggling very hard with the protein shakes. A couple of teaspoons tablespoons I am full

I could eat at that stage and even now 6 weeks later. Cottage cheese, hard boiled egg pureed with mayo, popsicles, water sipping, shakes sipping, tuna pureed with mayo. Applesauce, yogurt. No more than 1 11/2 ounce or 2 ounces.

I think I'm one of the lucky ones that was able to enjoy eggs right away. Eggs and tuna got me through protein wise.
